Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

Could you briefly tell me what Radarr and Sonarr are? I have heard about it but still its function is unclear. Is it used for managing torrent files?

They search IMDb-like services for movies (radarr) or TV shows (sonarr). They can then look at your media folder and see what's present /missing. They do stuff like bulk rename and tag files for injesting to a media server (like jellyfin). They also automatically search online torrent indexes and can queue up torrents for download using an external download server (like transmission). Basically it just makes the process easier.

Yeah that's basically it. It is a bit complicated to setup but once you have it, it works like a breeze.

Got it. Thanks
